Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and TT Games are teaming up with
the LEGO Group, to merge two of the world’s most popular brands with the
creation of LEGOÂ® Harry Potter: Years 1-4. Based on the first
four Harry Potter books and movies that tell the story of Harry’s
first four years at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, LEGOÂ®
Harry Potter: Years 1-4 offers an engaging mix of magical gameplay
and light-hearted humor. LEGOÂ® Harry Potter: Years 1-4 is being

Entertainment and is scheduled for release in 2010.

LEGOÂ® Harry Potter: Years 1-4 will give gamers the chance to
experience the magic and adventure of Harry Potter in a uniquely LEGO
way. Playing as Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, as
well as other favorite characters, gamers will have the opportunity to
attend lessons, cast spells, mix potions, fly on broomsticks and
complete tasks to earn house points. Throughout the game, players will
also have the freedom to explore iconic settings from the wizarding
world including Hogwarts castle, Diagon Alley, the Forbidden Forest and
the village of Hogsmeade!
